meet char
Char began practicing yoga in 1993 while in college. She knew she needed to “workout” but was not a fan of physical activity and thought yoga would be easy. To her surprise, her physical strength increased and her anxiety decreased. Yoga led to a lifelong “love affair” with exercise. After embarking on her Yoga Journey, Char’s confidence grew and although she never considered herself an “athletic” person, she began body building, rollerblading, kickboxing, and eventually ran a marathon. In 1999 Char started a career in fitness in 1999 and worked as a personal trainer for 10 years as well as a group exercise instructor for 18 years while simultaneously working as a Makeup Artist for MAC Cosmetics and attending college. In 2013 Char earned her 200 Hour Vinyasa Teacher Training Certification from Yoga Six. Char is currently employed as an HRBP for Amazon. Both she and her fiancé who is an artist travel several times a month for work and also have a residence in New Orleans, so Char teaches specialty workshops when she is home and which she themes corresponding to the cycles of nature. Off the mat Char loves to cook, attend art shows, and travel.
